Service-oriented lightweight software asset repository open framework
Hongmin Ren, Jin Liu, Jingzhou Zhang · 2010 Seventh International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery · 2010
Software asset repository, a treasure house of knowledge in software industry, is a primary infrastructure of Asset-Based Software Engineering. Now asset repositories are usually built into isolated islands and are browsable or searchable only by people, which has substantially reduced their functionality and greatly hindered the reuse in practice. Based on service-oriented approach, we proposed a lightweight open framework for sharing reusable assets among diverse repositories and third-part tools. We described the runtime reference architecture, UML object model and programmatic service interfaces which together provided a comprehensive technology-enriched specification for opening and sharing asset repository.
